Charcuterie boards are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’ve got some friends around for movie night, or you’re having an intimate date night at home, there’s nothing better than a selection of tasty treats to pick and mix from. If you’re hoping to put together a fancy charcuterie board but are stuck with what to include, then here are some simple ideas to get you started.
Selection of Olives
Olives are the perfect addition to a charcuterie board, as they look fancy and taste great. They also pair well with loads of other foods so are ideal for mixing flavors. Try having a variety of colors for extra aesthetic points and exciting taste combinations.
Goat’s Cheese
This tangy, creamy cheese is a great choice for your board. It’s different enough to be exciting but is still a popular cheese that pairs well with various flavors. A hard goat’s cheese would work well, but if you can only find soft then place it in a dish to avoid unnecessary mess.
Caramelized Onion Chutney
This sweet, smooth chutney will bring out the best in the rest of your charcuterie board spread. Whether it’s dolloped onto a cheese cracker, or spread onto some cured meat, it will transform the rest of the foods into gourmet treats.
